“Wait Until Next Year?” Is that what you are tired of saying to yourself?
Posted by Robin Bal under Social Goals[4] Comments
If you could reach just one goal in 2007, which one would it be? How much of a difference in your life would it make if you reached it?
Will 2007 be just another ho-hum year that started with good intentions? Or will it be YOUR Year! Your year to lose that weight you’re tired of carrying…start that business you’ve been talking about…get out of debt for good. Are you tired of being stuck in the same gear?
It’s a well known fact that the biggest reason most people fail to achieve any real success in their life is….they never plan to. They want to. They dream about it and fantasize about it. They talk about success. Maybe they even read success books, listen to success tapes and attend success seminars.
However, the sad fact is that unless a person has some incredible luck (like winning the lottery), their chances of succeeding without a plan are almost nil. But suppose you could spend a few hours over the next few weeks and easily and totally plan the kind of year you’re going to have in 2007.
What kind of year would you plan? Would you:Double or even triple your income. Start your own business. Build the dream home you’ve always talked about. Eliminate all your consumer debt. Marry the person of your dreams. Get in the best shape of your life. Take the vacation of a lifetime.
Sound too good to be true? Well, it is if you don’t have the right plan. Think about it. 2007 will be the best year ever for some people. They will achieve at levels they never thought possible just a few years ago. First, they will have a good plan built on solid principles. But they’ll also have something else. The critical difference. They’ll have a system of follow up and accountability that will help them put their plan into action (and keep taking action).

This is a good one. Amazing, that how many of us actually work to achieve our goals. Even new year resolutions are meant to be broken, many of us probaly would have already moved our goals or resolutions to 2008. I will be back.

Yes too true!
I’m always finding a way to put things off, but I’m just getting to the point now where I am catching myself doing it instead of unconciously just blaming failures & shortcomings on outside forces.
When you start to see what it is you (or your ego) is doing it becomes increasingly more difficult to live in the knowledge that you are letting yourself down.
Good post.
